I often have disagreements here with my DP. He's great at doing DIY so I generally leave him to his own devices but I've noticed he will spend say a whole weekend on a temporary job (and money) because he'd rather have a temporary fix for a month and I disagree saying I'd rather save the money and time towards the actual, real, proper job and live with it as is. This in my opinion, is over doing it, not quite the same problem as you have but equally as annoying to me 🫣 and I try to be quiet but do tend to disagree quite a lot and we will skulk off into various corners of the house until we can reach an agreement 🤣
Hope you both reach your agreement soon.MORTGAGE BALANCE when we moved Aug 2024, £120,000. January 1st £118,267.06.

Sympathies and hugs. You've said in your post very clearly your completely valid reasons for not wanting that. Maybe make up tonight and say 'we can discuss it tomorrow with a good night's sleep behind us' then read that list tomorrow. Though maybe leave out the bit about his boss's mansion in case he feels his manhood is being challenged while he's still potentially tetchy. You can always save it as a retort if you feel you're not being listened to 😁
Is there another job you can ask him to prioritise that only him and his brilliant skills could possibly do to help his damsel in distress?https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase
